KUALA LUMPUR – The International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) has announced that all categories of travellers who are citizens of Malaysia and Singapore will be able to enter Singapore and Malaysia respectively via the land Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) effective December 20, due to increased public demand.
Holders of Malaysian permanent resident status can continue to enter Malaysia via the land VTL.
However, travellers are still required to be fully vaccinated, and unvaccinated children below the age of 12 must be accompanied by vaccinated parents or guardians.
“Eligible travellers will be subjected to Covid-19 testing and further health requirements determined by the respective countries.
“The land VTL will still be limited to bus transportation, and designated bus operators will offer tickets to meet the increased demand – subject to prevailing public health conditions,” Miti said in a statement here today.
In a separate statement, the Singapore Trade and Industry Ministry said “there will be no change to the current test protocols in Singapore and Malaysia”.
The ministry noted that all travellers entering Singapore will have to abide by the prevailing test protocols and safe management measures, which include the post-arrival seven-day Covid-19 RTK-Ag regime. – Bernama, December 14, 2021
